Short, Sophisticated Hairstyles for Heart-Shaped Faces

Reese Witherspoon Blonde Bob

Reese Witherspoon's curls are one of the many ways to add retro-glam style to a short bob haircut. Steal her style:1. Apply a volumizing mousse, then blow dry hair straight with a medium round brush (it's a slight helmet-head look, we know).2. While hair is still warm, run an itty-bit of pomade between your hands and part bangs to the side, then create one large pin curl with them. Pin in place over your forehead.3. With a 1-inch curling iron, work around your head to curl hair ends under. 4. Rub a some pomade or wax between hands and smooth over the rest of your hair, tucking select pieces behind your ears.5. Release the pin curl and shape it to the side. Pin into place if it won't stay put. 6. Set bangs and curls with hairspray.

Drew Barrymore Chic, Blonde Updo

Drew Barrymore's red carpet look is a sophisticated style for a special occasion.1. To start, make sure you have plenty of product on hand, namely a strong-hold hairspray or spray gel and a hair wax to finish the look and help keep it in place. Also helpful: a friend to assist you, or at least keep you company.2. Beginning with dry hair, part hair at the side and comb or brush it into a ponytail that sits halfway between the crown of your head and the nape of your neck, and slightly off to the left. Twist the ponytail around twice, to form a roll.3. Tuck the ends under to bend the roll against your head, and tuck the roll inside itself and quickly pin into place. 4. Set the look with hairspray. 5. Use hair wax to smooth down any loose strands or flyaway hairs. 6. Depending on how elaborate your outfit is, a twist updo is also the perfect style for a pretty accessory like a crystal-encrusted comb or a fresh flower.
